Exercise for Kids
promotes good Child Health

Exercise for kids is one of the ingredients for good child health. Experts recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity daily for most children. Walking, bicycling, jumping and playing soccer are excellent activities for children.

These are some of the benefits of exercise:

1. It makes muscles stronger. Climbing and swinging on equipment at the playground can build muscle strength. Other activities to build muscles are skating, running, bike riding and push ups.
2. It will make children more flexible. Things like tumbling, yoga, martial arts and dancing are good for flexibility.

3. Eating well and exercise are important to your child's development. Eating too much and not the right food can lead to overweight and health problems. Being overweight can also result in low self esteem.

4. Exercise will make the children feel good. A strong and flexible child can participate in many activities and sports.
